Seemed like an easy one today but a couple of queries.

24ac Mean rowing coach (5) T-G-T

Must be TIGHT (mean) but don’t get the rowing coach part.

8ac Narrow could be more fittin (5). T-P-R

Must be TAPER (narrow) which is an anagram of APTER (more fitting) but the lack of the G in the “fittin” in the clue is throwing me. It kinda suggests a missing/dropped letter in the answer.

Just a typo?

Just a thought on 24. Rowers could be an EIGHT. I can't see why the E would be changed to T, though.

8A TAPER is an anagram of APTER (more fittin(g))

Don't see 24A either

19A Pianist's fish (4) ?A?P. I've heard of David Karp but not Carp
Also stuck for 14D Fungusy home? (7) I have B??G???

Sorry, Tim. I didn't read your post closely enough. I agree it must be a typo with 8A.

I think Tim had seen the "apter" anagram - he was querying the missing G in "fittin".

Fungus was a Bogeyman. I don't see how that helps, though!

14d blight (y)

blight = fungus
blighty = home

Thanks, guys.

Pianist I think was Natalie Carp

Still can't resolve TIGHT

Cheers, John.

I think I've just had a flash of inspiration!

Tight = drunk = "one over the eight" with eight, as Chris pointed being a rowing crew. One over them could be the "rowing coach".
